The
Hashknife Ranch offers superior archery Whitetail hunting on thousands of
contiguous acres of creek and river timber, pasture, and cropland.
We supplement our excellent natural habitat with food plots to ensure
the optimum development of the ranch's Whitetail herds, with bucks
that often score 165+. We have strictly limited the number of hunters each year, allowed no rifle hunting for over 15 years, and no gun hunting at all for the last 7 years, so the large number of Whitetail deer on the ranch experience minimal hunting pressure.
For example, on any given evening in the
summer months we frequently count over 200 head of deer on two alfalfa
fields near the South End headquarters, and quite a number of these
are heavy-antlered bucks that will score in excess of 155 P&Y. These
fields are a tiny fraction of the available hunting acreage on the
ranch.
We offer only fully-guided hunts, and we place
tree stands where the best opportunity of taking a deer exists. We
have over 30 years of experience in monitoring the herds on the ranch,
so we know the herd's habits and history. Hot spots change, however,
so we move stand locations frequently. We can help you with techniques
that have proven successful for other hunters on the property.
Our archery hunts include non-resident
tag, experienced guide service, lodging, brunch and evening meals.
For more information about lodging and meals, check our accommodations
page. Hunts run 6 days, from Sunday noon until the following Saturday
at noon.
